We went to Jared's parent's house for Thanksgiving. We had a great time as usual. I left my camera at my house so I didn't get very many pictures. Jared's dad took some family christmas pictures for us. He did a great job! Here are some of the pictures he took.

Grandma Goldston

Grandma Goldston (Jared's grandma) made Liam a beautiful baby blanket and darling hat. She also made Cadie a purple scarf and hat. She gave them to us when we were there for thanksgiving. She is very talented. Thanks Grandma we love them! Here are some pics.

On the road again

Cadie and Liam went to Utah again to see Cadie's little sister in the High school musical. Here are pics from their trip.

Crazy For You

Here is Jillian as Polly the lead in the Gershwin musical "Crazy For You." She was amazing!

The Jumper

My sister-in-law Amanda let me borrow her jumper to see if Liam liked it. He loves it he jumps like crazy and laughs. Here is a video.

Bobba and Poppa

Here is a pic of my grandparents aren't they cute. My grandma sings songs to Liam all the time. He loves it. I also put a picture of their new eco friendly car. It runs on electricity and goes a max of 25 miles an hour. It beeps anytime you make a mistake and when you reverse. It is a tin can but fun to drive.

Jordi and Liam

I stayed with my sister Jordan for a day.Isn't she beautiful! She is so good with children. Liam loves her.

I want a zebra

We went to visit my cousin Rhett, his wife stefanie and their new baby Amelie. We had a lot of fun. They took us to see the Zebra that lives down the street from them. I wonder how one would go about getting a zebra? Can you find the difference between the two pics of Liam and Jared?

Baby Amelie and Liam

Here are pictures of beautiful baby Amelie and one of Liam when we went to see her.

Who needs cereal

Liam didn't love cereal but the first time we gave him carrots he went crazy as you can see. He tried grabbing the spoon as usual so it got all over him but he did manage to get some in his mouth.

The Suns Game

I thought it would be fun to do a subtle tribute to the Suns for a little while. We love the Suns plus I need an excuse to make my blog purple. Jared Liam and I went to a Suns game Monday night. It was a lot of fun, we had great seats and yes we won! I have always liked the Suns but since I became an Arizona resident like has turned to love. Don’t worry all you Jazz fans I still love the Jazz. Jared grew up in AZ so he is a diehard Suns fan. We have fun watching the games together and cheering on the players. Here are some pictures we took.

Pre-Game

This is Liam right before we left for the game doesn't he look excited?

A Family of Fans

When I found out we were going to the Suns game I went out and bought Jared and I a shirt. We had to show our Suns spirit, they were on sale and we had to match Liam who already had one.

Update

A lot has happened in the last few weeks. Jared is all done with classes hooray! No more tests!!! Now he has about 7 months of rotations then he graduates June 12. We are getting close to being done. His first rotation is tough but he is learning a lot. Jared had a short break before starting his rotations so we went to visit his family for a few days and then my family for a few days. It was a lot of fun. Jared had to get back but I stayed at my house for another week to see my brother Austin as the lead in the Parowan Theater play "Little Shop of Horrors." He was phenomenal! We got to spend Halloween with my family and Liam was a turtle. Unfortunately Liam was pretty sick so he didn't like his costume and we didn't get very good pictures. He still looks adorable just not very happy. We are home now and everything is going well.

Turtle Turtle

Liam didn't feel very good on Halloween so it was hard to get a good picture but here he is in his Turtle costume.

Visiting the Bull Porters

Liam and I traveled a lot to visit my family. We stayed with Tana and Bronson in Orem then with Jordan in Sandy then we went to visit Mi Mi, Papa, Austin and Jillian in Parowan. Cassidy and Nate came to Parowan to visit and Nate brought his girlfriend Karrie. We can't forget Koda the dog Liam loved him! It was great to spend time with so much family.

Visiting The Smith's

We had a great time at Jared's house. It was so fun to see everyone. Grandma and Grandpa Smith and Uncle Michael were so helpful with Liam. As you can see he loves them!

Bath Time

Liam had been sitting up really well. He can now sit up for a long time without falling over. Liam had been wanting to sit up in his little bath tub so we decided it was time to move to his big rubber ducky. When you press the duck's bill it quacks. He loves it!

Gerber Baby

We introduced cereal to Liam a few weeks ago. He is doing ok with it. He seems to like chewing on the spoon more than eating the cereal. Sometimes he will eat alot and other times he is not interested. Hopefully he will like other baby food more.

Liam and Dad

This is a good picture of the boys. Liam is getting so big. He is five months old today and he is already becoming too big for some of his 6-9 month clothes.

He found his voice

The last week or so Liam has been screaming at the top of his lungs just to hear himself scream. He is usually really happy when he is doing it. Here is a video.

I gave Liam a little drink of water out of this cup and he wanted more so I gave him the cup with just a few drops of water in it. Here is the progression of trying to get it to his mouth. I don't think he is quite ready to drink out of a cup yet.

Laughing Liam

Here is a video we got of Liam laughing. He is really tickleish on is thighs and especially on his sides.

Liam's first swing

Here are pictures of Liam's first time in a swing. He loved it! This was taken at a park near our house. Here is also a picture of Liam, his cousin Peyton and his friend Bella at the park.

Best Buds

Liam and his cute cousin Gavyn had the same shirt so of coarse we had to take pictures. Aren't they adorable?
